☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆～Special edit fc9l (13-06-24)～☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
That thing I said I was going to do got done!
————————
Full song released on the 2016 single CD LoSe±CoNtRoL. Arrangement by Technoboys Pulcraft Green-Fund w/ vocals by Fuku Sanae and Numakura Manami. Lyrics + composition by ZAQ. There are 11 alternate versions of the TV size across the anime series, though I am, at present, not able to tell you what’s different between them. They appear on LoSe±CoNtRoL Serif Variation Album #01~#11 released a little later in the same year. (If I had to guess after hearing this ED online, it’s the exchanges between Clarion and Nanakorobi that are inconsistent. I’ll bet ‘serif’ is a key word here!)
There was a comment posted to YouTube years ago in which a fellow, honourable musicman and otaku had taken the time to translate the full-song lyrics. That song-video has long since been lost to time, but that doesn’t mean fellow, honourable musicmen and otaku stopped trying to understand Nanakorobi-san and Clarin’s unforgettable, core contributions therein.
As a side note, it would be pretty cool to come back to this page to add the skit dialogues. Added to the list of things I need to do…
TV size 1st!

0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233…
Accessing the device named nature
The circuit of infinite synapses
Read write enter close
Sharing tools can lead to unavoidable situations
(((Skit)))
Saving data, strengthening predictions
Even my latest updates
Can’t explain why you’re so nice to me
Error error parameter
Please help me understand
Where these emotions came from
Find me at the end of this labyrnth
Of feelings I can no longer control
I understand the concept of emotions
But I can’t make any sense of my own
I want to pull out these cords
And head straight to you
I won’t come to understand love
Without having you here with me
————————
And now a portmanteau of MTL that tried to fool me a number of times and translations by BluRayDesu!
————————
Access the device called nature
A circuit of infinite synapses
Read, write, enter, close
Exchanging loops causes inevitable encounters
Memorize records, capture predictions
Even though I’m constantly updating
What I can’t find is the reason for kindness
Error error parameter
Please help me understand
Where these emotions came from
Find me at the end of this digital maze
Of true feelings that I can’t control
I understand the logic, but it’s difficult to understand
I want to pull out all the cords and go see you
I won’t come to understand love
Without having you here with me
377,670,987,1597,2584,4181…
Not found
I was drawn to you by the strength of G
But my fate was ruined by chance
Giga Mega Terra Peta
The possibility of love evolving infinitely
But again, the theme of maintenance is to maintain it. Bugs are not allowed in this absolute world. It’s obvious, but what should I do?
Mayday mayday
Which is love?
A serious system error has occurred
Please help me. I can’t analyze you with inorganic strings of characters
Irregular light distorts even a prism
My mind and body are messed up and I can’t control it
I know you. Did you encounter love?
(((Talking I vaguely understand, but probably don’t.)))
Lose lose lose control
It’s going to go out of control. The cyber journey continues.
Find me at the end of this digital maze
Of true feelings that I can’t control
Is being loved a happy thing?
I want to pull out all the cords and go see you
If I don’t touch you
If I don’t touch you
I can’t even know love
————————
PS: I took the liberty of changing my to of in ‘of true feelings that I can’t control’ because I don’t know what I’m doing, and the TV size translation isn’t MTL. (And after special edit fc9l, various other changes were made because BluRayDesu is a real person and knew them to be good, so…)

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆～Special edit fc9l～☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode one:
七転福音：Nice to meet you, Clarin! I hope we’ll work well together!
クラリオン：I never authorized that form of address.
七転福音：Come on. It’s so nice and cute. ‘Clarin’.
クラリオン：Disconnect me.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode two:
七転福音：Clarin, when we use the Pandora Box, do you feel embarrassed too?
クラリオン：I have no need for such emotion.
七転福音：Then, you aren’t embarrassed when I jump on you like this?
クラリオン：You are impossible to understand.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode three:
七転福音：What’s with you and not wanting your ears touched, Clarin? Are they sensitive?
クラリオン：That’s classified information.
七転福音：You’re adorable when you refuse! Maybe I wanna touch them after all!
クラリオン：Don’t make that mistake.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode four:
クラリオン：You like that game, Nene?
七転福音：You mean Monster Bash? Yeah! The quests are so great, and there’s tons of equipment to find! But I need rarer drops so I gotta play again and again and again, and as I play, I keep learning / small new tricks, and I enjoy the game so much and…
クラリオン：You could have just said ‘yes’.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode five:
七転福音：We need to play doctor together! I’d love to see you dressed up as one!
クラリオン：That’s unnecessary. Nene can just use the Pandora Device and—
七転福音：Oh my god! I could be a nurse instead, and then I’d get to take care of you as a patient!
クラリオン：Maybe I should drag Nene to the hospital.
Spoilers incoming!
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode six:
七転福音：Lesbians? What was BUER so excited about?
クラリオン：It’s not important.
七転福音：I wonder if that tower really exists. I’d love to go! You and I could look at the night sky as we…
クラリオン：I see you have, at least, a rough understanding of the matter.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode seven:
クラリオン：How did you know the androids wanted to go home?
七転福音：I heard all their voices saying, ‘I want to go home.’
クラリオン：It’s possible that was residual data still left in their memory.
七転福音：No, it’s the voice of an android’s heart.
クラリオン：Impossible.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode eight:
七転福音：Hey, Clarin, what kind of equipment did you want anyway?
クラリオン：I could use some knives, guns, smoke screens, and electromagnetic capture nets.
七転福音：Old-school equipments, eh? Why not a beam rifle or a lightsaber?
クラリオン：I’ll try asking Korobase for those.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode nine:
七転福音：You’re in a good mood today, Clarin.
クラリオン：My operating efficiency increases when my ears are cleaned. The reason is unknown.
七転福音：It’s easier to work when you’re in a good mood, and humming a tune makes it fun! I know! We should sing together!
クラリオン：But I’m already singing.
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode ten:
クラリオン：Lovely bride of mine, I want you to touch my ears with your beautiful fingers.
七転福音：C-Clarin!
クラリオン：Nene, I could be yours for all time.
七転福音：Cat prince Clarin! Stay with me forever!
Transmitted Somehow Pandoradio episode eleven:
七転福音：Clarin, are you okay? Did it hurt? Were you scared?
クラリオン：It doesn’t hurt, and I’m not scared. I’ll stop BUER and protect you. End of story.
七転福音：You’re so strong, Clarin. I’m going to help you! Let’s fight our hardest together!
クラリオン：All right.

〘lyrics〙T.S. Monk – Too Much Too Soon
Released on the 1981 album ‘More of the Good Life’ by T.S. Monk. Credited to David Wolfert and Sandy Linzer.
————————
Young hearts couldn’t wait to find romance
Young hearts couldn’t wait for that first dance
Couldn’t wait to take a chance (take a chance)
Wtih you
First love
Every song will be our song (every song will be our song)
First love (first love)
Staying up all night long
Feeling never was so wrong
So right
From the very first night
(Too much too soon)
No, too far too fast, they say
(Too much too soon)
Whoa, no love can last that way
(Too much too soon)
Baby, baby, baby, don’t turn away from me
I know we still can be lovers
We were lovers, never friends (((too many voices)))
Lovers
That’s the way the world began
That’s the way the whole world ends
With you
Baby, what did I do?
(Too much too soon)
Too far too fast, they say
(Too much too soon)
No love can last that way, yea
(Too much too soon)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, don’t turn away
Stay
Oh no no no no no no
It’s crazy, baby
Why must you be a stranger to me?
Think of the past
Too far too fast
Too much too soon
Too much too soon
Hey
Too much too soon
Too much too soon
Oh, baby
Too much too soon
Ooh
Oh, too far too fast, they say
(Too much too soon)
No love can last that way
Baby, don’t turn away
(Too much too soon) ((Stay?))
You know we’ll find a way
Somehow, someway, someday
You know we’ll find ((it/a))
You know we’ll find ((it/a))
Stay

PS: I have no idea how you’re supposed to format lyrics when someone hasn’t already done it for you! Enjoy!
Appears on the 1971 album ‘Yeah!’ by The Pioneers. Credits are unknown to me. Written ‘Baby Can I Change My Mind?’ on the b-side of the record.
————————
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Love deep inside my heart, tearing me apart (tear me apart)
How can I say goodbye when you want to leave
Your tears falling just like rain, but I just want to see, oh yeah
Love deep inside my heart, tearing me apart
Baby can I change my mind?
Baby can I try to find a love that is somewhere for me?
But I can’t bear to see you cry, knowing I’m the reason why
And oh baby, I want to die
Oh, I want to die (want to die)
I want to die (want to die)
Love deep inside my heart, tearing me apart (tear me apart)
Oh, how can I say goodbye when you want to leave
Your tears falling just like rain, but I just want to see, oh yeah
Love deep inside my heart, tearing me apart
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Baby can I change my mind?
Baby can I try to find a love that is somewhere for me?
But I can’t bear to see you cry, knowing I’m the reason why
And oh baby, I want to die
Oh, I want to die (want to die)
I want to die (want to die)
Oh, mama
Baby can I change my mind?
Baby can I try to find a love that is somewhere for me?

YouTube Mixes Hell
Sometimes the gods of the algorithm see to it that you’re swiftly punished for listening to music on YouTube. Is it justified to be so exacted upon? I wonder. Do these gods deliver their hand to my face in ambivalence, benevolence, or malevolence? Ask yourself—deeply ask yourself, ‘What exactly is the Internet experience here for?’
I present to you, here, the seed of Satan:
Mixes. Back-to-back mixes. And in case it wasn’t clear, these are the evil in your heart! They are the root of EVIL and SUFFERING in this world we call home!
Let us explore the constituents of
—E V I L ・・・
Firstly, ‘evil’ is an acronym for ‘everything vile in the land’! Clearly, the caveman who thought up fire was onto something! Let me explain exactly what he thought so that you, too, can comprehend:
① ‘It is hot!’
② ‘It destroys!’
③ ‘In its absence, everything is good and pleasant!’
True, we shouldn’t be blaming cavemen for thinking about fire, but that doesn’t mean casually glossing over the details will benefit us! As the evidence looms, and as the weight of our decisions pale in comparison to the meaning of the sheer number of non-believers, only a hyper-intelligent force like electricity can save us!
Case in point, electricity is emphasizing the importance of mixes to me! This means our fate is being disturbed! It is utilizing the one intermediary that I know it would know I would know would never betray the fabric of being: cyber-foreshadowingI
Cyber-foreshadowing can be summarized in three sets of 15 points; however, for your convenience, I have truncated and simplified the nuances within:
• Algorithms predict the future.
To recap, hot is like hell, evil is on land, etc., etc. Furthermore, with the appearance of unforgiving, back-to-back mixes, a call to every decent human being has been sounded: elucidate YouTube to the urgency of extending customization of the tags for the home feed page.
LET THERE BE NO MIXES WHERE MIXES ARE UNWANTED!!!!!!!!
In the pursuit of the magnum opus in every discipline (because ruling over the domains of life and death sometimes need to take a back seat), I’ll share with you one of many great strides I’d made while polishing the gold that is my imagination:
Upon reflection, and though the truth may yet be quite out of reach, it is possible the polishing agent I’m using is not top-of-the-line. Truly, it is hard to accommodate this deviation in my mindscape so farseeing. That being said, I am familiar with so-called established consensus and the weight of opposing their pervasive sensibilities. For this reason, I, with great trepidation, open myself to receiving advice about products that don’t both wane with the flavour of diminishing returns and conceal the participation of forever chemicals in their makeup.
I am not playing Trials Rising in this video; I am not Shishiro Botan; audio found in this video is attributed to a performance titled 【Trials Rising】クセがすごいんじゃ【獅白ぼたん/ホロライブ】.
I think 獅白ぼたん’s approach to entertainment is likeable. I appreciate a select few other Hololive talents, too, but somehow this is where the puzzle pieces fall. Actually, it has been a long time since I last watched Botan – or any other vtuber, for that matter. It was only a few days ago that I remembered how much fun it was watching Botan play Trials Rising years ago. This was when the idea of putting together an off video became appealing.
Please erupt with tuffs of black smoke when on the grind!

Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai ep. nine
I felt that clipping in my bones! 「そうゆう問題じゃない！」I get the feeling it wasn’t purposeful, but that isn’t to subtract from her feelings of betrayal. In fact, as far as I’m concerned, the speciality of the pairing of parameters as delicate as this with the intenseness Takahashi Rie is channeling for Kano stands to lift it to one of the most moving, beautiful moments in anime! And it tore my heart out!
Some of you with your keen eyes realized there was no mention of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei in our Anime’s Greatest Hits articles. There is a reasonable explanation for this: Despite adoring this series, I have a really hard time watching it, and thus, have been unable to complete a total run-through in my ~7 years of ani-watching. To show that I operate in good-faith, when possible, there will be a ‘minimal’ review, not unlike the reviews presented prior, to summarize progress made. In the spirit of full transparency, I had watched to episode seven of season two; however, we’re just going to do that again!
And this is about as far as I was able to get in episode one a couple days ago! Itoshiki finds himself on cult island and tries to commit suicide! We also meet Hitou Nami!
Favourite songs, vol. 0004: A Slight Reimagining
Herein will be a copy-paste of a playlist description I’d made yesterday! Expect fluctuations in the ‘Favourite songs’ brand from here on out! It’s simple: There has been much deliberation on what makes a ‘favourite’ song, and not to mention, happenstance has led us to this point, and in so doing, it’s perfectly reasonable for things to develop, mature, and evolve, as things do.
In the future, with a new beating heart, there should be a resurrection of ‘Favourite songs’. And no doubt, there, surely, will be an attempt to explain what preconceptions, ruminations… etc., etc. Look forward to it!

As stated upfront in the description, there are going to be errors. For instance, you’ll notice I’d included a couple Poplica* songs with Syrufit. This is because of confusion, then hindsight, then laziness. Enjoy!
Shibayan’s 月齢11.3のキャンドルマジック from ココロバイブレーション doesn’t make an appearance in the playlist because of plain oversight. I’m actually pretty sure it was included in a previous Favourite songs article! Anyways…
To the musically orientated, the glaring absence of singers is somewhat of a problem to me too! On one hand, it would be cool to link up the albums to VGMdb or Touhou Wiki when applicable – and to do so now. On the other, I’d prefer to rush this article out, and then, when I’m caught up in another wave of fierce ambition, do all that hyperlinking business!
Finally, I am aware that Glory 3usi9 doesn’t technically have the ‘feat.’ part in the song name. It’s one of those things where I don’t really know how to jot down Vocaloid songs. The irony of this is not lost on me. Suffice to say, ‘Blame it on my stubbornness!’
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆～Special edit p062, 01-06-24～☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Here’s a special mention for Necro Fantasia (ALR Rewind Remix) off ABANDONED DANCEHALL. The playlist has a handful of albums at the end, so you’ll have to forgive me for not ‘including’ this one as a ‘favourite’ song before!
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆～Special update cz3f, 01-06-24～☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
I’ve realized how cool it would be to have an A/V capture box. I don’t have a CRT anymore, but with a capture box, I’d be able to really go ham! But for now, I’ll slowly add pictures for the titles appearing in this list, taken with my camera! ^^

Welcome to another installment of Blessed are the Footsteps to Enlightenment!
Note: Upon multiple thorough five-minute skims of the Internet, it appears it’s up to me to get the screenshots I want for these 100-out-of-100 games. Expect massive delays in the follow-through of this article, because there are various celestial bodies required to be in alignment for any progress, in this regard, to be made. Apologies in advance!
Is This Thing Turned On, part 0003: Am I Being Diluded, or Am I a Gamer?
01. Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (1997); played on: N64 | My infallible score: 100/100
02. Perfect Dark (2000); played on: N64 | My infallible score: 100/100
03. Liero (1999); played on: PC | My infallible score: 100/100
04. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (2002); played on: Xbox | My infallible score: 100/100
05. Borderlands (2009); played on: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, & PC | My infallible score: 100/100
06. XIII (2003); played on: PC & Xbox | My infallible score: 100/100
07. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011); played on: Playstation 3, Xbox 360, & PC | My infallible score: 100/100
08. Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash (2017); played on: PC | My infallible score: 100/100
Honestly, I’d considered putting a few other games in this list; however, doing so would be insincere. For example, IPs like Total Annihilation, Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes, Earthworm Jim, Sonic, Clayfighter, Virtua Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Silent Hill, Fallout, & maybe a few others, while being very meaningful to me, don’t quite satisfy the 100-out-of-100 brand. This is for various reasons such as the following: The release wasn’t played very much, nostalgia is a powerful motivator, after weighing pros against cons, its addition feels illegitimate, and ability fell short to ‘really’ enjoy.. Additionally, there are a couple entries from the Call of Duty franchise that could be mentioned: World at War, 4, & Black Ops. Though I certainly reaped much fun from these ones, how does one gauge the quality when fun is reliant on latency?
Now, instead of name-dropping these IPs and forgetting about them, let me tell you about my favourite things from the releases I’d played!
Is This Thing Turned On, part 0003.5: Where Do I Find the Time?
Sonic the Hedgehog 2:
• Emerald Hill & Chemical Plant zone themes
Total Annihilation:
• Title menu drone
• Core Shadow bomber
• Coast to Coast or Over Crude Water
Sonic 3D Blast:
• Spring Stadium zone
Earthworm Jim:
• THIS GAME ROCKS!
Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes
• You’re literally a toy soldier! It’s fucking awesome!
Clayfighter 63⅓:
• Taffy: ‘Gumball!’
Virtua Fighter:
• Check out the scan of Akira there! It is devastatingly impressive! (You don’t have to make a Tumblr account! Become a Patron of The Video Game Archive TODAY!)
Silent Hill 2:
• Literally the scariest game ever! So, it’s my favourite of being too afraid to play, I guess!
Mortal Kombat 3:
• Smoke, obviously! (Wish I had MKII, too!)
Fallout 3:
• Sniping w/ Ol’ Painless w/ 10 luck and missing every time
• Stashing all the weapons in the women’s in Megaton
• Save scumming for speech checks
• Worshiping the lead pipe
